Questions About 1993 Volvo 850’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Volvo's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Volvo? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 850’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 850 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my 850 transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Volvo 850 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Volvo, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Volvo 850 leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Volvo 850, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

  • Can I still drive my Volvo 850 if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your 850 if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
